"We're not some deep space franchise!"

[danceswithwords]

I've had to deal with some major upheaval at work recently, and so of course now is the perfect time to embark on a few time-consuming and potentially expensive home improvement projects! I don't have a lot of control over the timing, since my tenants are moving out at the end of the month, and the place must be made ready for new tenants, and

But would the actual convention sell out?

I would *seriously* doubt it. (I don't see Creation turning down anyone who wanted to give them $$$$.) The gold ticket packages might "sell out", but I'd think you could get Preferred or General Admission tickets on the day of.

Thanks. I would mostly be going to meet up with people, so my main concern is just getting in the door; it doesn't sound like that should be too much of a problem.

As I said last night, get a day ticket at the door. Way cheaper, and they definitely won't sell out.

Dr. Horrible will be up until Sunday, or at least that's what I've heard.

I'm so glad you're going to be watching The X-Files, while at the same time I want to make all these disclaimers about how you should never invest too much thought into the conspiracy plot because it will never make sense, and how Chris Carter seemed infuriatingly ignorant at times about the best qualities of the series. But as long as you know those things going in, I think you'll enjoy it. *g*

Fortunately, everybody who answered my previous poll counseled me to ignore the mytharc, so I am totally prepared to do that!

I am currently unable to delete any messages in my LJ message box. Interesting!

Come find me on IM; I know many good ways to troubleshoot the problem. Or you could open a Support request.

[danceswithwords]

Thanks. I'm going to try on my browser at home, because if JavaScript is involved, there are some things about my work machine that are currently extremely messed up, and I want to make sure that it's LJ's problem rather than mine before I take any further steps. If it is, though, I might take you up on it.

[abbylee]

Well, I'll give you the short version here then.

Sometimes you have too much going on in your notifications, so the JS never gets a chance to load properly. Turn on image placeholders and video placeholders, try again. (You may want to turn them back after, etc, etc)

If you're having JS problems at work, you could try disabling it completely and it will fall back on the non-JS options, which means no "check all" and a few other options, but you should at least by able to check each and delete.

I had no problems using the message center this morning from my home machine. I'll keep the tip about disabling JS in mind for work in the future. The short version of that situation is that in order to work with a particular product, I had to install several different versions of Java, and once I did, I lost some but not all JS functionality. It's very weird. Thanks for the workaround; it might come in handy until I can get my Java situation sorted out.

First of all, let me second molly_may's X-Files warning - DO NOT put any thought into the conspiracy plot. In the early seasons you think it makes some sense and it's going somewhere, but don't be fooled! The show collapsed like a house of cards under it's own mythology. And there was one moment in the series that proved to me no one really gave a damn about continuity any longer.

and Oliver's ghost comes between them in part not because Geoffrey is talking to him, but because he won't share it with her.

Very true. But, in fairness to Geoffrey, it is hard to explain having conversations with a dead guy to your friends and family. ;)

I'll give this to Jeffrey Donovan, his Aussie accent was better than Ben Browder's. And I agree that the BN opener was good, but not quite what I expected. I'm looking forward to more Tricia screen time tonight.

And there was one moment in the series that proved to me no one really gave a damn about continuity any longer.

Oooh, which one? If you don't want to say anything spoilery here, email me or comment in my LJ. I like to know everyone's XF breaking point.;)

[danceswithwords]

I know! I know! (At least I think I know.) And it's not spoilery, because it's when Mulder says something like, "I'm not a psychiatrist," and Asta's head explodes because he is a psychiatrist. I have heard this rant!

[molly_may]

Ah, that is indeed a classic example of Chris Carter whatthefuckery.

Someone at my company decided to do us the huge favor of revamping one of the tools we use so that it has all of these Awesome! New! Features! We don't actually use any of the awesome new features, and we didn't actually want any of the awesome new features...

I think this innovative person must moonlight at LJ and Netflix. Somebody make him stop.

Let's just say it's a good thing he's physically located on the other side of the country.
